      Sousa, F. J. P.; Alarcón, Orestes E.; Weingärtner, Walter L.; Fredel, Márcio C.; Vázquez, Maria F. Q.; Sánchez-Vilches, Enrique Elsevier (2013)
      The present work addresses the distribution of texture over the surface of porcelain stoneware tiles due to kinematics imposed by industrial polishing process. The scratching process was simulated using a computational ...
    • openAccess   Polishing of Porcelain Tiles in Industrial- and Laboratory-scale 

      Olenburg, A.; Sousa, F. J. P.; Sánchez-Vilches, Enrique; Aurich, Jan C. German Ceramic Society (2013)
      This work reports the design and use of a laboratory-scale tribometer and a new developed tool-holder to reproduce the industrial polishing process for ceramic tiles in laboratory-scale. The mechanical conditions in a ...
